About 2BEATZ
Big experience. Small, friendly setup.
2BEATZ are all about familiar songs, strong harmonies and a relaxed live sound that fits just as comfortably into a busy pub as it does a daytime celebration or care-home lounge.
Paul and Karen spent more than 15 years fronting a successful function band, building up the kind of experience that only comes from performing for all sorts of audiences and occasions. These days the setup is simpler: acoustic guitar, tambourine, two voices and a compact PA.
The repertoire leans towards classic “oldies” — singalong favourites, pop, easy listening, country-flavoured songs and a few novelty numbers — with material spanning the 1950s to the 2000s.
